The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has condemned the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for advising South-easterners to boycott elections in the region.
The IPOB call for election boycotts, starting with the Anambra governorship election, has been described by MASSOB as a move to get “our people killed again”.
Speaking with The Punch, the MASSOB national director of information, Sunday Okereafor, implored people to disregard the words of Nnamdi Kanu and come out to exercise their voting rights.
He said the elections must surely hold and reiterated his group’s call for non-violence.
“We have come a long way and we are the founders of the struggle. All the pro-Biafra groups came out of MASSOB. We are telling Anambra people to go ahead in November and be part of the election.
“IPOB is wrong to have said election will not hold. How can they say election will not hold? They want to create problems in Nigeria. They want our people to be killed again?
“We are saying no violence and they are inciting violence. The people of Anambra should go ahead and elect their leaders on the day of the election.”
